I totally forgot about Sword Fish. That movie rocked! Especially since you got to see Halle Berrys tits :p Mr and Mrs isnt out here in Auz yet but its going to be good. Anything with Jolie is good. Also I loved the story behind the Matrix. That in my definition is definitly a hacking movie just less computer based and more plugged. If that made sence.

madagascar hacking?!wtf?!its about a bunch of animated animals being deported to another country.

swordfish was redeeming in the fact that its main character was arrested initially due to the 'karnivore' program developed by the FBI(coincidently, the movie was out 2years after the leaking of the existence of karnivore to the public. The first time i had actually heard of karnivore was on the news section on UGN Security)

and lastly...anyone know the name of that song in Mr. and Mrs. Smith? the one played when they were dancing in the rain in the begining and at the final showdown in the end?

I hate hacking movies. At least everyone I have seen. The make sure to cram in as many "h4ck3r w0rd2" as possible. Sword fish is a perfect example. Ole boy is getting a bj while cracking the DOJ net. After that, John Travolta is asking him how he did it. Listen to how he crams the buz words in there.

The font on the PC's is allway something like 55px. Some of what they show is about as realistic as sending 10 emails to your friends and seeing the taco bell dog run across your screen. The only good point is usally the hacker is the good guy. Why not make a realistic hacker movie. There is enough out there to OMG base one off a real persons life events. Say

The list goes on. We can't make a movie on the true life events of one of these guys. Not a flash in the pan movie, I mean a full hollywood production with decent actors so I belive it. No lets show some Matrix with a 3d hologram floating around like in hackers in the early 90's. Where the chief of IT security likes to ride around on a skate board. WTF is that shit.

The matrix, good movie. Loaded with bull shitSword fish Bull shitHackers, loads of bull shitwar games okay I like it, but still bull shitThe net with sandra, BULL SHIT

To pick a favorite I would have to say Pirates of silicone valley. If you have not seen it... Get it.

mm, I agree with you a bit there, but I don't think that accuracy is something that the people who made the movie were looking for- what I mean is, thats not the point, I mean its the closest thing we can get to movies that are about our society. One thing I don't like about them though is that they give the public a really bad impression of how h4cking works.

Here is what I am saying. I get that you need to entertain people. I get that a movie about a guy reading and sitting at a computer the whole movie would pretty much suck. But there are wild crazy real life stories that would lend them selves perfectly to a big screen. Why just make up some bull shit that could never work in the real world when you have the real deal.

A big trend in hollywood now is accuracey for time periods. When they do that with computer movies I will enjoy them a bit more. Though I do like Angelina Jolie's titties
